To all vr/iom it may wneern lle. it known that l, llenar G. ConDLnY, a citizen of` the `United States, residing at tillen lidfre, in the count)r of Essex, .ltate of New Jersey. have invented certain new and useful linproreinents in l)ispensingStands, ol which the' following is a description. reference heinnf had to the aeeoxnpanying draw-- ings, forn'iing; a part. hereof.

The invention relates to dispensing stands for dispensing liquids for use as beverages or Jfor other purposes and has foi-'its object to provide a si ple, strong and eliieient stand adapted for dispensing liquids from the ia-iginal bottles or other containers and oooling the liquid so that it will be dispensed at a temperature suitable i'or drinking.

lli/*ith these objects in View, the, invention consists in the construction and combina tion oiu elements hereinafter described and claimed.

Referring to the drawings, Figure l is a. central vertical sectional View of a dispensing stand einhodying the invention, Fig. 2 is a horizontal seetioual view on 'line 2 2, oli Fig. l, Fiji' 3 a horizontal sectional View on line of '.liig. l, and Fig. l is central vertical 'onal View similar to Fie", l hut showing a modified construction.

ln the drawings. l indicates a howl having a flat hottoin 2 and having its sido walls flaring outward toward their upper edge, as :indicated at it opposite points on the upper edge of the howl are secured upwardly extending; arias -l which are curved inward so that their upper ends are a distance apart slightly great r than the diameter of a bottle To tie upper ends oi these arms is secured a horizontal strip G hent into the shape of a ring adapted to tit around the hed); ol the hottie 5 and having its ends slightlyy separa ted.

rlo the. under side ol the bottoni Q of the howl are seei'ired the inwardly-heut upper ends G of strips 8 which extend downward and outward to forni supporting legs and have their lower ends bent inward to form feet 9. These legs which are Apreferaloly Jfour in. number are braeed by a ring 1G secured to theinnear thei r upper ends and also h v a ring l0 scoured to them ahout midway ol their length.

'lhrough the renter of the hottoin l of the l howl extends a hollow plug` 'll having formed thereon a shoulder l@ adapted to rest against the under surface of thehottorn and haring a loelt nut i3 fitting on a. screw threaded portion. ol the plug1 resting against the upper surface ot the bottoni and. clampn ing the bottoni firmly between it and the shoulder l2. Above the loelc nut, the hollow plug is adapted to into the mouth of the hottie and is provided with 'packing il of eorhA or other suitable material to make a liquid tight joint. The plug ll. has two pas-- sages through it, passage l5 'for the outflow ot liquid and passage 16 'for the inflow of air. To the upper end. of the inlow passage is secured an air inlet tube li of such length as to reach nearly to the bottoni of the in verted hottie.

ll'elow the shoulder l2 the plug is provided on onn side with a recess 18 to receive the end. ot a horizontal tube lfl. the outer end of which provided with an enlargement to rereive the inner end olf a, push faucet 2l haring a 'valve seht il to rei-cire a valve earried hy a faire rod 2lhaving at its outer end a push hutten '23 against which a spring 2G aets to hold the valve to its seat. the faucet having a discharge nozzle 27. The tuhe lll is in eonununieation at its inner end with liquid outflow passage of the hollow plug.

(ln its side opposite to the recess 18, the plug` is provided with a rearward extension Zta having formed therein a horizontal passage Q9 open, at its outer end and in com 'inunieation at its inneri end with the air in# flow passage 1G. lleloi' passage 29 and in line with the valve rod oit' the faucet, a. recess 30 is formed in` the extension Q8 adapted to receive a packing' 31 through which 'passes a rod 3Q connected at its inner end to the valve rod 2lin rear of the Valve 23 and provided at its rear end with an ali-1n 33 secured to it by a- 'pin 3l and extending up in line with the open end of passage 29,

ehe arrangement being sue-h that when the push. button is pressed inward to unseat the Valve Q3, the rod 3Q will move the arm 33 awa)v troni the open end of the passage 39 so as to permit air to enter as the liquid is drawn od.

Suitable packing' may be used if necessary to insure a tight joint between the plug ill and the bottom ot' the bowl l.

lln use, the eork is drawn from the hottie containing' the liquid to be dispensed and the stand is then inverted over it and the end of plug '11 fitted into the bottle. neck. The stand is then returned to upright pose i rings may all be readily formed from flatstrips of metal of suitable width secured ltogether and to the bowl by rivets.

In Fig. 4l, l. have shown a modified construction 1n which the air inlet passage 2) is not controlled by the arm but has connected to its outer end `zpipe or tube 35 which extends outward ,to""'or.slightly beyond the edge of the bottom@ 'of the lbowl and thence upward, preferably outside the side of the bowl to or beyond theedge. ln this construction, the. air inlet tube; '17

may be dispensed with, though it may be used as indicated in dotted lines it' it is desired to avoidl having the air. bubble up through the contents of the bottle.l Y The connection with the bottle may be means of ahollow plug, as shown in Fig. Lier maybe, as shown in Fig. 4, by means of e eupt into which the mouth et' the bottle tits, this cup having in its bottom, a disk 37 of cork or other relatively soft material against which the mouth of the bottle rests so as to mal-:e

'a liquid tight joint.

't ln the construction shown in Fig. l, there is.,l of course, no need for providing the faucet with any connection for controlling the air inlet as the air inlet pipe or tube is always open.

Having thus described my what I claim isz- A dispensing stand for inverted bottles invention,

comprising a bowl adapted to contain ice, l

having a flat bottom. a hollow plug extending upward through the bottom olf the bowl, a draw oli` faucet connected to the hollow plug below the bottom of the bowl, supporting legs having their upper ends bent inward and secured to the bottom ol the howl, resilient arms extending upward irom the upper edge of the bowl and a horizontalstrip secured to the upper ends ot sa id resilient arms, bent into the shape o1' a ring and having its ends` separated to inelose an inverted bottle extending into the bowl and into engagement with said hollow plug.

This specification signed and witnessed this ninth day ot' January, D. 1915.
